This book is a Trojan horse of knowledge. A fascinating conglomeration of research on psychology, neurology, sociology, and political science that is organized and delivered through the lives of two fictional characters who fall in love. By the end, you will know a little bit about a lot of things you didn’t even realize you were learning!
If psychology interests you in the least, If you have ever enjoyed a Malcom Gladwell book, you will be completely enamoured with this story. The research behind both characters’ thoughts and actions caused me to feel an even deeper bond with them and at times I even forgot that they were fictional! This emotional connection is what every writer aspires to achieve, and with Social Animal, David Brooks knocks it out of the park.
